I'm looking to get these, in red aswell. But depending on the cost and logistics, my alternative is to find a boring original replacement from the scrappy.

Looks like but isnt
If you look closely, its a hybrid of a 6N bumper with the lower lip of the 6N2.
Plus its one piece, perhaps welded together and smoothed out. I was thinking of getting a bumper from a 6n2 and cutting it off, but I've smashed my bumper and need the change the whole thing now.

Yeh that's what I thought, the top bit is too skinny for a 6N2

at the end of the day mate everyone has different taste and i think you should do what you wanna do or you might not be happy with your car.
my opinion would be not to have any of the bodykits but to modify the 16v bumpers instead like you have mentioned i have done this to mine and i think it looks unique also now a days its hard to be unique because so much has already been done.
just go for the 16v bumpers you can't really go wrong with um just do summing different to um.

IMO i prefer the first front and rear as they seem to be the most straight forward looking but im not sure... cheers for ur thoughts Tim might have to go with the 16valvers then
lol
JonDo
i agree
the front no1
the rear no1 too
i am a big fan of the 16v bumpers thou, i like subtle styling thou!
like you say they are common, maybe thats for a good reason!!!
